I'm doing 43 things
I’m no chef, and neither are my parents. All my cooking inspirations come from online or cookbooks. But it’s fun to make your own food and experiment a little. I’m scared to experiment a lot still! But it’s totally worth doing because it’s fun, healthy, and WAY cheaper than eating out several times a week like I used to.

Surprised 
How I did it: Look in the middle of the patch, and you are sure to find one eventually. The two I've found have always been in the middle.

It made me
penniless 
How I did it: I wanted to be a total diva for my senior recital. Two dresses, two pairs of killer heels. Will I ever wear any of those outfits ever again? Chances are, no. I am still paying off my credit card for that shopping spree, and wish I could put that money to good use somewhere else instead of my stupid former pride. Read how I did it…

It works…and it lasts for a little while, but only about a month. Plus it makes your teeth very sensitive. I’m talking about whitening strips, I don’t know how great the real thing is.
